The winner of Best Documentary Feature at the 2016 Cesar awards, this French eco-doc was sparked by a special briefing for the journal Nature which suggested the possible extinction of a part of mankind before the end of the 21st century. For their crowdfunded film, activist Cyril Dion and actress Mélanie Laurent embarked on a tour of ten different countries to figure out what may lead to this disaster and – crucially – how to avoid it. One of their destinations was Bristol, where they met Mark Burton and Ciaran Mundy of the Bristol Pound.

Demain (Tomorrow) is divided into five chapters – food, energy, economics, democracy and education – and has already been a huge success in Europe, where it has been seen by an estimated 1.5 million people.
